Won't You Please - 6/24/08 show, subbing for Ginny

Today I subbed for Ginny, in the slot right before Think Pink. I expected to be a little more relaxed, since it's late afternoon, but the traffic on the way delayed me to the point where I arrived almost exactly at 4, which left me a little out of sorts. Also, this week is BMI log week, in which we have to record the composers of each song we play; this made extra work over the course of the show.

On the other hand, I had a request for True Love Always, a band I'd never heard before, and I really liked it. It reminded me of The Aluminum Group — jazzy with nice vocal harmonies.

Other item of note: the opening track of Sigur Rós' new album is in fact called "Gobbledigook". Most of the rest of the songs have Icelandic titles. To me, this is funny.
